Amazing Mbuna Food!

[@sygerrryc]

Definitely love this idea and never thought it. No more wasted floating food in the filter.

[@zacjohnston5288]

Currently researching feeding strategy’s for mbuna cichlids for college. I found this really interesting and a great video :))

[@Jude3e]

Any significant or notable findings?

[@under-psi4034]

Hi Zenzo, Thank you for all your time and energy put into the making of a fantastic channel. Well done... I was just getting set to make my own prepared cichlid food.Before I start, I have a couple of ideas that I thought I would throw your way first.What are your thoughts about pre blanching the zucchini? What about summer squash?Cucumbers? now you can get the seedless ones? De-shelling the peas? Broccoli and should I blanch it first? Last question. I noticed at Bed, Bath, & Beyond they have little silicon mini ice cube trays. If I pour the mixture into the trays (assuming I blendthe sheets of seaweed in the mix with the veggies). Would you feed the cubes frozen or thawed out? lastly, I was also thinking of putting in a couple cloves of garlic?The rest of the ingredients are the Rapashy, cichlid veggie pellets, and one protein.I guess that is a lot of questions... Woops...I want to do it right the first time and all this runs around in my head... HELP ME, PLEASE!Just kidding, I was even thinking about weighing everything so it is consistent each time I make it. What are your thoughts please... Thank you sir. -Steve

I feed peas to all my fish..Goldfish, mbuna, guppies (I mash them a bit)..endlers and my mixed tropical tank. I use frozen peas. I just leave them in a cup of hot water for a few minutes, I always shell mine (just a squeeze and the insides pop out) as I have read in several places that some fish have difficulty digesting the shell....I would love to use repashy to make a big mix...If only repashy was not so expensive in Australia..and we dont get the full range.

[@scothancock2586]

Thank you. I eat diet free jello every day. I was thinking about making my mbuna’s clear gelatin cubes with veggies in it. I have seen you on varies KZbin’s regarding your African Cichlids. And this video uses Repashy, so I will purchase this today. A side note, continue wearing shirts like that. You are a beast!

[@bhen2753]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Going to try this!

[@Serie809COD]

For haps and peacocks Tazawa which you recommend use from Repashy?

[@plus2golfer12]

I got my mbunas 2 years ago..pet store gave me Omega with them and that's what I've fed them ever since... Never knew they would be on veggie only

[@Rews-fish-shed]

Thanks I think I’ll start using that recipe. Honestly I never thought about adding stuff to the rapashy jell

[@Ratdaddy752]

You get that yoked from lifting fish tanks?! 😂 best channel thank you

[@stever3119]

Shells from the beach. Get ones that are broken and straight. They make perfect daggers down into a substrate to hold the vegetables.

[@johnnguyen4572]

how old are those mbuna and how are they so peaceful when they eat?? my auratus chases all the fish away when i feed the tank cucumber.

[@willvazquez4311]

Cool spin on the floating foods appreciate the time and effort will be trying this out for my mbunas. I too have a mix of cichlids all between 1.5 to 2.5 inch in my 60g grower bout to move will upgrade to larger tank. Thanks for the video

[@dennisruedel]

Hi Zenzo, I just stumbled upon this video. I haven’t seen it before. I thought it was an outstanding tip for enhancing the Rapashy and also making your own fish food. I would love to see a diy food for carnivorous haps. Thanks very much for sharing 👍.

[@melsfreshwater6020]

This is a great idea thank you. I have the morning wood repashy i got for my plecos, would that stuff work ok? I'd love to prepare a meal for my fish. Some of my cichlids are such pigs it will be nice to feed them something different.

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

I do the exact same thing but I steam then puree the zucchini and peas in a food processor then mix it with the Rapashy.

[@pauljones799]

Zenzo...Soilent Green ??? What a weird name for a fish food! That futuristic movie, circa 1973 is very disturbing. Hope that fish food isn't made of the same stuff lol

[@TazawaTanks]

LOL!

[@Chinellaleon]

What a great idea can you freeze this?

[@gblanco728]

Thanks for this info, I was just looking up for best foods for mbuna cichlids.

[@rogernilson3986]

That's a great idea. Thank you for posting

[@dannyhoogenboom885]

Awesome video , if u complete it and it gets jelly , how long it last and do u need to put it in the fridge ?

[@TazawaTanks]

Yes, it needs to be refrigerated or frozen. It lasts a few days in the fridge.

[@dannyhoogenboom885]

@@TazawaTanks cheers for the quike response. Time to get me some aswell

[@enixsound7620]

Did Magic Mike get a tan? Good info. Thanks!!

[@tulioalopez]

Do you keep them in the freezer or fridge?

[@deaconerinkirk1976]

I use a little piece of light defuser to keep my food held down I attach it to the food then stick it into the substrate

[@Itswiggs93]

Might save you some money if you use agar powder or solid agar and blend it into a powder. Boil it with water the same way you did. Dehydrate your veggies and blend into powder. Mix with agar, let it set, cut it up into small chunks and freeze

[@MattKeepsFish]

What species of mbuna do you have?

[@abelpolanco]

Thanks for Sharing 👍🏼

[@Shadow-wn5fw]

Thanks Again!!

[@CJBlack265]

Great idea! Thank you for step by step 💕👍

[@TazawaTanks]

CJ Black Glad you enjoyed it CJ!

[@magicalsquid2750]

CJ Black what the fuck are you wearing dude

[@valiantred]

I've got 4 juvenile Mbunas and I'm not seeing them eat that much. I've bought Cichlid flakes and pellets but is that even the right diet for them?

[@ARod-br2ui]

What exactly were your measurements for the repashy/water?

[@flogwang2379]

Do you need to keep it in the fridge?

[@TazawaTanks]

Yes

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

Did you cook the peas first or just throw them in frozen thawed ?

[@TazawaTanks]

Melissa Berry I lightly blanched them in hot water.

[@Shadow-wn5fw]

Hello Zenzo, How often would you feed this?

[@TazawaTanks]

As often as you have the time, patience, and budget for. Lol! For me, every once in awhile.

[@manuelbolt9945]

Excellent video!!!! Do u think this would be a good food for my colony of Mpimbwes?

[@TazawaTanks]

Manuel Bolt Possibly, if you add some protein like a cichlid pellets.

[@oldeunclebobby]

Very useful, thanks!

[@mzmamamiavirgo]

Just ordered some. Can't wait to try it out!

[@PincheMigs]

[@stevenmills1820]

CAn you use this food for Deamonsi Mbuna ?

[@TazawaTanks]

Yes

[@pranavpugaonkar6674]

Bro make a lasagna for the fish.

[@denisk2414]

why not just blend all the veggies/fruits with a bit of bottled water and then add them to the repashy mix?

[@TazawaTanks]

That would work too.

[@kingmike1580]

wouldnt be a bad idea.

[@Chris29909]

You remove the seeds from the zucchini ?

[@TazawaTanks]

No, I leave the seeds in.

[@simonmoylan4014]

Trt Tazawa

[@stevenmills1820]

Can you give Mbuna sweet potatoe ?

[@martinkruse7675]

It works!

[@samwoods8643]

Dig it!

[@TazawaTanks]

Sam Woods Thanks Sam.

[@roneagle8088]

will african cichlids eat canned or frozen soft carrot chunks or corn

[@danmaltby3271]

kind of thinking peas are the easiest

[@jackpear3938]

Nice 1

[@xXSinForLifeXx]
